Fog, The

John Carpenter has described this ghost story as a “little exploitation horror movie,” but even by those standards it’s pretty much a bust. As shipwreck victims from 100 years ago haunt a historic town on the Pacific Ocean, Carpenter’s ensemble cast of random characters – including Jamie Lee Curtis as a drifter, her real-life mother Janet Leigh as the town socialite and Carpenter beau Adrienne Barbeau as an overnight DJ with the hilariously husky voice – holds far less interest than the coastal scenery. There is a lot of atmospheric fog though.
